1972 Map of Derrick SE

About this map

The glacial prairie of Ramsey County is defined by a dense network of small wetlands and depressions characteristic of the North Dakota pothole region in the early 1970s. Running through the northwest corner, Edmore Coulee provides the primary drainage through this agricultural landscape. The map highlights the township organization of the era, clearly delineating the boundaries of Overland, Fancher, Cato, Triumph, Noonan, and Newbore. Local history and genealogy are anchored by specific landmarks such as the Katthagen Cem and an additional unnamed Cem located near the southern boundary. Economic activity is represented by several small-scale excavations, including multiple Gravel Pit sites scattered across the sections, reflecting the local infrastructure and land use of this rural plains environment.
